Ben Skeggs at Red Hat has long been the primary Nouveau DRM kernel driver maintainer for keeping this open-source NVIDIA GPU kernel driver within the mainline kernel going… Throughout all the battles, particularly after the GTX 900 series and later has required signed firmware images for enabling any accelerated GPU support, he’s now resigning from maintaining the driver. Ben Skeggs has contributed to the Nouveau project for more than one dedace – he’s earned references on Phoronix since 2008.
Why NVidia?! Why do you force me to stay on Windows?! WHYYYYYYY?!
That’s what went through my head yesterday as OneDrive threw the towel (again) and borked the whole Windows Explorer (again) so any attempt to access my own files would just freeze the Explorer-Window (again) because OneDrive tried to frantically download a folder that was deleted both locally and online (again) and OneDrive got confused (again)
This is just the open source NVidia driver… there are also official ones.
That also suck. I especially need the RTX and Tensor pipelines for my 3D rendering hobby…
I think sadly you’d either way get much better performance with proprietary drivers especially if the focus is generative AI.
Even the proprietary drivers blow chunks. Sure, gaming performance is fine, but desktop feel is just so awful compared to AMD wayland it isn’t even funny.
No :(
The (amateur) software I’m using for my hobby (DAZ 3D) almost exclusively uses NVidia Iray. Besides, since it’s a ray tracing renderer, I need ray tracing performance, a discipline AMD sucked big time when I bought my 3070.
Because back in the day when ATI had the worst Linux drivers, you were supposed to go with Nvidia. Now the tables have turned.
On my work laptop, OneDrive did randomly decide to zero out all files. Even the ones in the web interface. Even the old versions, so restoring those affected files by using older versions wasn’t working. I had to rollback my whole OneDrive to a point about 2 weeks earlier and lost everything in between… Fuck OneDrive.
Oh, are we turning this thread into a OneDrive hate thread? Because I hate OneDrive. My work computer has one folder that when I tried to delete it, entered a permanent undefined state. OneDrive claims that it’s syncing since march. It doesn’t help that Windows Explorers defaults to syncing ALL of the user folders into OneDrive and there’s nothing I can do because it’s company wide policy. I constantly have deleted files in my Downloads folder randomly popping up after deletion.
